Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools With a Slide In Fastener
1. If the flat tire is larger than
the spare tire, use the longer
mounting bolt from the tool bag.
2. Slide the shorter bolt to remove
it from the floor and insert the
longer one.
3. Replace the jack and tools in
their original storage location.
4. Place the tire, lying flat, facing
up in the spare tire well.
5. Turn the retainer nut clockwise
to secure the tire.
6. Place the floor cover on the
wheel.
To store the compact spare tire, use
the shorter mounting bolt.
The compact spare is for temporary
use only. Replace the compact
spare tire with a full-size tire as
soon as you can.

Compact Spare Tire

WARNING
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of braking
and handling. This could lead
to a crash and you or others
could be injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact spare
tire, it was fully inflated when
new; however, it can lose air
over time. Check the inflation
pressure regularly. It should be
420 kPa (60 psi).
